To combat the spread of measles in Morocco, a circular has been sent to regional directors of the youth, health, and social protection sectors. This initiative aims to coordinate efforts to strengthen surveillance and complete vaccination for children under 18, which is the main measure to control the epidemic.

The circular emphasizes the need to raise awareness among parents about the importance of vaccination and the obligation to present children’s health records. It also recommends setting up dedicated vaccination spaces in the concerned institutions and taking isolation measures in case of confirmed measles cases.

Authorities also encourage awareness campaigns in nurseries, youth clubs, and community centers to ensure broad support for this national campaign. The goal is to limit the spread of the virus and ensure public health through full vaccination coverage.
